NAME

       input - Yagi-Uda project antenna defining program

SYNOPSIS

       input [ - h ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  program  input  is one of a number of executable programs that forms part of a set of
       programs, collectively known as the Yagi-Uda project , which were  designed  for  analysis
       and  optimisation  of  Yagi-Uda  antennas.  input is an interactive program, that asks the
       user for information about a Yagi design, such as position of  elements,  spacing  between
       elements,  frequency  span  of  interest  and  a filename to save the data to.  input then
       writes this information into an ASCII file, which can be read by yagi or optimise The file
       is ASCII and it's format is easily understood by inspection (there are comments printed in
       it), so it can if necessary be edited manually.

       After running input and specifying a filename (for example 144e10) you  should  then  type
       yagi 144e10 and then output 144e10 and optionally optimise 144e10

OPTIONS

       -h     Print a help message.

FILES

       filename         ASCII data file in which design is put.

PLATFORMS

       Both  DOS and Unix versions have been built. The DOS version as distributed requires a 386
       PC with a 387 maths coprocessor.

       Bugs should be reported to
       david.kirkby@onetel.net.
       Bugs tend actually to be fixed if they can be isolated, so  it  is  in  your  interest  to
       report them in such a way that they can be easily reproduced.

       If  a  mistake is made during inputting of data (such as entering an incorrect length), it
       is not possible to go back and correct this. You should make a note of the error, and edit
       the ASCII text file with a text editor (vi, DOS edit etc).
